NO OPIATES GIVEN.
A Sensational Story Denied by Members OF

the Logan Family.
WASHINGTON, January 3.-A press rep
resentative sought the views of various
members of the Logan family this morning,
as well as the physicians who attended
him and several intimate friends of the de
ceased, and his family, relative to the
story published in the New York Herald
about the administering Of acOnite or NOR
phine, and the consequent evil effects on
General Logan. All denied the story, and
asserted in the most positive manner that
from the beginning of the Generals illness
to the end, no Opiate OF any description
was taken.
4 possible explanation of the story is
found in the fact that several days before
General LOgan's death the physicians
sought to allay the patients restlessness,
and advised mild sedative. The General
learning of it, and having layman' s
knowledge of medicine and medical mat
ters, decided that he would not take the
prescription, and iocOsely said to friend
who was present: 'I'll have to watch
those fellows. They can't fool me-

JOHN ROACH DYING.
HIS FAMILY SAY HE'S BEfoNDT THE REACH
OF MEDICAL AID
The Statement Authorized The Truth Kept From
Even the Friends Of the Pamly-HB DBeass
Epithelioma--He Could Not Rally From
the Shock of His Assignment

NEW YORK, January 3.-lt Is known
that for some weeks John Roach, the great
shipbuilder, has been confined to his
residence in gradually failing health. Ac-
cording to his own desire that his friends
should not be needlessly alarmed, and ap-
prehensiye of the effect upon him OF
learning the real nature of the disease,
from which he is suffering, his family and
physician have been reticent in regard to
his condition. Mr.. Roach, however, now
realizes fully the impossibility OF recover
iug and the reason for concealment no
longer exists. In view of this fact rep
resentative of Mr.. Roach's family tonight
made the following
AUTHORITATIVE STATEMENT
of the invalid's condition. Mr. Roach is
beyond the reach of medical help save IN
the alleviatiOns of his sufferings, which
have long been incessant and intense. HIS
disease is epithelioma and its development
has been very similar to the case OF Gen.
Grant, the location, however, being the
roof of the mouth instead Of the throat.
All efforts to arrest its progress have failed,
and only his powerful constitution has sus-
tanned him so long. He has never seen
we'll day since the entire nervous prostra-
tion consequent upon his assignment
eighteen months ago. From that
crushing blow he could not
rally and the cancer began to develop last
January. In March an operation was per-
formed in the hope that the disease might
be eradicated In the summer the trouble
returned and it became evident to the ply
sicians that there was mo hope. Mr.. Roach
is now failing gradually, his agony reliev-
ed only by anOdynes.

THE MOVEMENT OF GRAIN

lhE lON EMENl OF GkAlN
within the United States, and points out
what changes have taken place in the great
centres of the country since the close ofthe
war. The average annual receipts of grain
in Portland, Maine, New Orleans, Detroit,
Cleveland and Pittsburg have remained
throughout the two periods stationary.
Boston, New York, Philadelphia, San
Francisco, Toledo, Erie, st. Louis,
and Peoria, have, speaking rOundly
doubled their average receipts during the
latter period. Baltimore, Louisville and
Duluth have increased nearly three fold;
while the average annual receipts at Kan
sls City have INCREASED nine fold. A
marked increase is noticeable in Milwau-
kee and Buffalo, but there has been a de
Cided decrease on the receipts of OSwego
and Ogdensburg. The Atlantic ports not
only consume vast quantities of this grain,
but the bulk OF the product is shipped
abroad theretrom. 1t is shown by the ia
bles that during the wet year ending with
lSS3, the average annual receipts of
cereals of all kinds at these ports have
been in round figures 200, 600, 900
bushels. Efforts were made by the COM
mittee to group together the average yearly
prices of grain at the various grain centres
of the United States for series of years
and to show the
DIFFERENCE IN THE PRICE
per bnshel at the various points between
these geographical sections, which would
represent in q measure the freight and the
tendency Of the rates of freight charges. 1t
is shown, for example, that the difference
in the prices of corn between the Atlantic
ports and the lake ports has steadily de-
clined from n cents per bushel in 1873 to
10 cents per bushel in 1888; between the
Atlantic ports and the Western river ports
from 19 cents in 1873 to IL cents in
1883. An attempt was made by the COM
mittee to ascertain the rates of freight from
the principal intermediate points 10 the
principal cities Of various States. This in
yestigatlon was conducted in hopes of as
eertaining facts in regard to the difference
Of rates charged for
=. LONG HAULs AND SHORT HAULs,
and to throw light upon the yexed ques-
ton Of long and short haul. In rela-
ton to this inquiry, the committee says:
IF the returns from which the above sum-
mary is constructed may be relied on land
the committee has been careful in selecting
only returns that appeared upon their face
correct the rates charged for local frelsh.II
